Holiday Blues
tonight i drown my sins in beer and pretense just like you drown your sins today yesterday tomorrow in the crisp clean pages of scripture tonight i drown my sins in beer and cigarettes just like you drown your sins today yesterday tomorrow in a room all alone hiding from the world that doesn't conform to our sins with your lights strung from the gutters among the illuminated snowmen and nativity scenes tonight i sit outside drunk and smoking with my pretentious faith in nothing just like your pretentious faith in santa claus humanity karma a new year or anything else tonight for the holidays let's take it easy on ourselves and call it "drowning our sins" so tomorrow clear minded in the light of a new day we can call it "absolution" cause that feels and sounds a lot better than "drowning our sins" but it's also a lot harder than drinking beer reading books or however else we slither away from the world that doesn't love us nearly as much as you or me love ourselves
